Chapter 187

On the first day of the new year, after eating dumplings, it’s time to go to work.

Xuan He stayed at his great-grandmother's house, and his father came to pick him up after get off work in the evening.

Lin Wei took the bus directly from here to go to work, which was actually closer.

After Zhang Chaoyang settled his family, he packed his things and took Xuan He and Nuan Nuan to the retirement home to visit his grandfather.

Yesterday, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang spent the New Year at the retirement home and went to work early in the morning.

When Zhang Chaoyang arrived, there was a young female comrade at the retirement home, Zhang Chaolu, who was on winter vacation, and a young female comrade whom Zhang Chaoyang did not know.

"Nuan Nuan, come to my aunt, do you still remember my aunt?"

"baby."

"Nuan Nuan, you are amazing. You actually remember my aunt."

Zhang Chaolu will be 18 years old after the Chinese New Year. She was sick before and had to take a two-year leave of absence from school, so she will graduate in July.

"Chaoyang is here. When will you report? You will finish your training in one year. What are your plans?"

"I don't know yet. Most likely I will have to go back to the south. As for the details, I will have to follow orders."

"That's fine, with your Grandfather Wang here, no one else can take away your credit.

By the way, this is Chao Zheng’s wife. She is pregnant and will give birth in a few months.

There is no one to take care of me there, so I came back here to give birth to my baby.

Your wife is about to give birth, right? ”

The old man remembered that Chaoyang’s wife was also pregnant, but he was not sure how many months she was pregnant.

A few years ago, Chao Heng's wife gave birth to twin sons, and he was very happy.

The Zhang family is considered to be a large family.

"It's almost done. It will be almost done in another ten or eight days."

"Okay, let us know when the baby is born."

Grandma Fang brought over a fruit plate and asked Zhang Chaoyang to eat.

"I'll call you when the birth is over."

Zhang Chaoyang has no problem with the other party's grandmother, but he is not close to her either.

After staying in the retirement home for a while, Zhang Chaoyang left with his two children.

"Time flies by so fast, the fourth generation of children has been born one after another, and we are really getting old.

Grandma Fang looked at Xuan He and Nuan Nuan who were jumping away, as well as the newborn and soon-to-be-born children. Time really makes people grow old!

"We are only in our seventies, we still have a few years to live, every extra year is a bonus.

Think about those people who will never come back. We are lucky people now that we have many children and grandchildren. ”

Thinking of his former comrades, the old man's eyes became red. He stood up, left the living room and went to the study.

"Grandma, is Grandpa okay?"

"It's okay. I was thinking of my former comrades. We have sent away too many comrades, and many of them have never married."

Grandma Fang patted her granddaughter-in-law's hand and told her not to worry.

"Grandma, you are all great people."

Zhang Chaolu had heard his grandfather talk about past events many times, and he was familiar with them and truly admired them.

"Well, we must remember those who have left, live well with their expectations, and witness the strength of our motherland."

Grandma Fang looked at her childish granddaughter, who also had a pure heart.

"It will definitely become strong. That's the result of the sacrifices of many people like my grandparents."

Zhang Chaolu's eyes are firm and full of conviction.

"Yeah, I think Chaolu is right."

Grandma Fang got up and went to the study to see her old comrade. She couldn't be sad for too long.

When Zhang Chaoyang returned home, he first went into the house to take a look at his wife. Seeing that she was half leaning on the quilt to rest, he quietly walked out.

"Xuan He, Nuan Nuan, you guys play in the living room."

"Is mom resting? Are the sisters bothering mom?"

"No, my sister has grown up and will meet you soon. It will be very hard for mom."

Zhang Chaoyang tried his best to explain it to Nuannuan so that she could understand.

"Let mom go to sleep, my brother and I will go play."

Nuannuan knew that her mother was tired and wanted to sleep.

Nuannuan was born on January 6, 1973, and is now two years old.

Before, Xu Di made a small cake for Nuannuan, a simple one, and lit two candles.

Nuannuan, who thinks she has grown up, now likes to speak like adults.

"Okay, Xuanhe and Nuannuan go play, Dad has to go out for a while."

Zhang Chaoyang also had to go visit some elders, so he packed up his things.

"Dad is busy, we will take care of mom and grandma."

Nuannuan waved her hand and let her father go.

Zhang Chaoyang touched his daughter's head and left with his things.

Grandma Qian looked at the father and daughter and smiled too.

I met up with Hao Yunlei on the second day of the Chuer period. Song Hui and Jianguo were not back because one was on duty and the other was on a business trip.

I don’t know if there’s any big case going on, he didn’t even come back for the New Year.

"Wife, Yun Lei is getting married on May Day."

"Really? We're finally getting married. We've been dating this guy for almost a year."

Xu Di was also quite surprised. Nowadays, not many people can stay together for such a long time.

"Well, the woman decided to change her career."

Hao Yunlei's girlfriend is also from the art troupe, a dancer.

The two grew up in the same compound, and the woman is a few years younger than Hao Yunlei.

She performed well in the art troupe and confirmed her relationship with Hao Yunlei at the beginning of last year.

"Why?"

"It seems that I got injured during a previous performance, and my legs can't do difficult moves anymore."

Zhang Chaoyang didn't ask too much, just wanted to know that Yunlei liked it.

"It's a pity, but Yun Lei should be happy."

Xu Di knew that it was not easy for women to make a career in this day and age.

After talking for a while, Xu Di felt tired again and fell asleep in a daze.

On the third day of junior high school, Zhang Chaoyang took Nuannuan to Xu's house and never went out again.

Xu Di has already taken maternity leave. She is pregnant with twins and her belly is too big for her to go to work.

On the morning of the ninth day of the first lunar month, Xu Di felt stomach pain and she knew that she was about to give birth.

"Chaoyang, my stomach hurts. I might be giving birth soon."

"What, you're about to give birth? Okay, I get it. I'll go get Aunt Wu to get ready. Don't worry, I'll dress you right away."

Zhang Chaoyang was stunned for a moment, then calmed down.

He quickly called Aunt Wu and asked her to take the quilt downstairs and cover the cart with it.

He immediately went back to the house and helped Xu Di put clothes on.

Grandma Qian also woke up. Knowing that Xu Di was about to give birth, she quickly put on her clothes.

There is no way to notify Xu Di's parents at this time.

Thinking about the two children in her belly, Grandma Qian was worried, so she called the Liang family and asked Wang Lan to come over to help.

Nuannuan also got up and put on her clothes without saying a word. She also wanted to go to the hospital and wait for her sister to come out.

"Grandma, I'll take Xiao Di to the hospital first. You and Nuan Nuan, don't worry, just walk slowly."

"Got it. You guys go first. Your Aunt Wang is here too."

Zhang Chaoyang helped Xu Di downstairs. Aunt Wu had already laid out the cart.

After placing Xu Di on the cart and covering him with a quilt, Zhang Chaoyang pushed the cart to the hospital.

They met Aunt Wang at the door, and they escorted Xu Di to the hospital together.

The doctor on duty took the patient's case and asked the family to wait outside while they examined him first.

"Get ready to go into the delivery room. I'm six fingers dilated."

Xu Di was pushed into the delivery room, and Zhang Chaoyang was circling at the door.

He had never experienced Nuan Nuan at that time, but this time, he truly understood how difficult it is for a woman to give birth.

By the time Grandma Qian and Nuannuan arrived, Xu Di had already been in there for half a day.

"Where's Mom?"

"Mom is going to give birth to my sister. We are waiting here."

Zhang Chaoyang held Nuannuan in his arms, and Aunt Wu went back to make soup. Fortunately, Xu Di was the only woman giving birth, and there was no crying or shouting outside the delivery room.

It might be the second birth. After more than half an hour in, I heard the baby crying, and it was quite loud.

More than ten minutes later, another burst of crying was heard, slightly weaker than the previous one.

"Dad, sister, my sister is crying."

"Well, my sister is crying, my sister is crying..."

Zhang Chaoyang's eyes also became wet. He heard that his child was born.
